some of that cake so made ? — A. We did. That is to say, it was a forward 
contract, one deliveiy of which was during November. The purchase was 
900 tons to be delivered — 100 tons in each month, — I think from July to 
March. 
Q. Sesame cake is an article of commerce by itself? — A. It is. 
Q. Where is it imported from ? — A. France, I believe. 
Q. Is that a residual product also, or is it manufactured ? — A. It is the 
product of the seed. 
Q. Called Teal ? — A. Yes, the sesame. Sesame we know it by. I believe 
it is the same as teal. 
Q. Is it a residual product, or is it a cake made by manufacture? — 
^4. It is a residual product after crushing the seed, in the same way as 
linseed cake is a residual product after expressing or crushing the oil 
from linseed. 
Q. Sesame cake averages a lower price, a good deal, than linseed cake ? — A. 
The cake, yes ; but if your question applies to the oil and seed, no. 
Q. I am speaking of the cake. I ask you whether the cake averages a much 
lower commercial value than the linseed cake ? — A. It does. 
Q. And is imfiorted into this coiintry in the shape of cake ? — A, It is. 
Q. Not expressed in this country? — A. No. 
Q. But it is saleable in this country at its value ? — A. It is. 
Q. You, I suppose, know nothing about this cake. You did not see it at 
all on its way to Mr. Wells ? — A. Which cake do you mean ? 
Q. I had better perhaps get the details, as my friend has left it so general. 
Did you on the 29th of January, or shortly after, send two tons of this cake 
to Mr. Wells 1—A. I think we did on the 12th of February. 
Q. By the railway to Goole, I believe ? — A. Quite so. 
Q. Did you see that cake yourself on its way ? — A. I did not. 
Mr. Justice Blackbuhx: I suppose you understand the question and 
answer both to refer to a parcel of two tons ? 
Mr. Field : Yes, my lord. (To the witness.) Had you before that time 
received a letter from Mr. Wells, on the 3rd of February ? — A. Will you tell 
me to what purport ? I do not recollect the date. 
Q. I will read it to you in a moment — oi rather is this your answer 
(handing a document to witness) ? — A. Yes, that is our answer.

Hull, February 5th, 1872. 
From Ayre Brothers to John Wells, Esq. 
Dear Sib, '^tKQi, Booth Ferry. 
Your favour duly to hand. The A Best Cakes can now be shipped 
when Fearnley applies for them, and the 5 tons by rail will leave either to-day 
or to-morrow at latest, we hope. It is unfortunate that this Mill is behind- 
hand in deliveries owing to a pressure of orders and contracts. We regret the 
necessity for any delay, but trust you will not be further inconvenienced. We 
book 2 tons Best Cotton Cakes at bl. 10s. per ton, to be sent with the lot by 
boat. Waiting further favours, 
Youi's truly, 
Ayre Brothers. 
Mr. Field : You say in your letter " we are sony that this Mill is behind- 
hand in delivery, owing to pressure of contracts." — Were you told that by 
Mr. Kidd ? — A. We knew it of our own knowledge — we have contracts with 
Mr. Kidd.
